tennantrodney Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 It was so nice to meet everybody at the braai on Saturday. It is always a bit difficult when you have decided to leave and people in your day to day life have such different views - it was nice to mingle with people who feel similarly. One thing surprised me was that there were hardly any moans - most of us feel sad leaving to a degree but i heard nobody trash SA which is great. Just looking forward to a new life in AUS. One thing was weird for me - meeting people that have their visas and are still here - due to circumstances beyond their control- i think if it was possible and they had them in their pockets, i would have pick pocketed their visas and driven straight to the airport! I hate this feeling of being in limbo - i just want to get on a plane get settled and get on with my life. Patience is not my strength! Thanks to Tsunabi and Kango - was great!

Alida Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Hi Rodney - yup you're sooo right ! Haven't thought about it, but now that you mention it. There was this enthusiastic, happy, 'looking forward to... ' atmosphere. Nobody complaining, nobody accusing. I have to say, I absolutely admire our people's ability to keep the head high, to still see the future, no matter how much the world wants to crush us. Wherever we are pushed down, we pop up somewhere else !Viva you great bunch of survivors !(hehehe, we could start our own real life survivor show - just film South Africa)PS: And we have a joke ready - that's a part I love dearly !

Dunno if we are positive or just plain stubborn people! This is a walk in the park for you Afrikaans guys though - when i think of your forefathers pushing those freaking ox wagons over the mountains! I reckon if even their descendants start leaving, then maybe it was time to go a long while back. :-)By the way check out the home i am dreaming of building in Aus - not too pricey - under $AUD500 000 and not a burglar bar in site! - Of course given all the glass one can't just walk around in your underjocks , but that is a sacrifice that i am willing to make: http://www.burbankhomes.com.au/homes_detail.php?house_id=95Anyway, cheers for now!

Geduldige van der merwes! Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi everybody, sorry this took so long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennantrodney Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks for posting the pics! It must have been early in the evening cos Gavin was smiling - before we tore his house apart. I have been really feeling miserable. Fighting with Home Affairs to get my unabridged certificate. Waiting for assessment. Waiting waiting waiting. And work is so busy. I think the big thing for me is that I find once I have decided to move on - be it a house or whatever, I want to move on. My heart is just not in work anymore - things are going really well, but even when our little company lands a big deal as it did recently, I still almost couldn't care... I think I need a beer.... Cheers Guys! Thanks again for that van der Merwes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are as well as can be. Still waiting....... cannot believe I haven't gone nuts yet. I really am finding it frustrating. I have asked our agent to find out and they have mailed DIAC and are still... yes, waiting! I had a telephone interview last week and they are supposed to have let me know by today or tomorrow, so I am ....waiting. May last year seems years ago hey? I also thought that our other app (475) would have a CO by now, but nothing. Dead Silence. We sold our house, I have sold out my part of the business and am now taking a breather for a couple of months till we go. Basically, locked and loaded ready to board the plane, the minute the visa is granted. My brother is also waiting. hopes to have CO by May as well. Sorry -I know I am venting. Having a really bad day. Don't want to be motivated or cheered up or encouraged. Just want my damn visa to get the hell out of Dodge. :-)!How have you guys been?Cheers!Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
